[@user-pw7wl3nu1l]

@@TheGamersRace Yeah fiberglass totally fine for your lungs 🫁 🤣👍

[@TheGamersRace]

@@user-pw7wl3nu1l Fiberglass causes no damage to your lungs, has no carcinogenic effects, and has no permanent lasting effects on you unless severe amounts of it are inhaled regularly. Or you know,... it's burning. Short term, it can cause mild skin, eye, nose, and throat irritation. So obviously wear a mask, but if you don't you're not going to become the next Deadpool.

[@twgarage-terrywatson1672]

Looks good however, over time you will see a perfect line of where the patch outline is due to expansion and contraction. The panel bond and glue expand and contract at different rates. There is a time and place for panel bonding but but hints are not the place.

[@johntatman9168]

I. would have used almost the entire panel replacing it at the natural body line that way if it does start to show it would be far less obvious.

This was neat to see how to repair the rust section without a welder

[@rodb8274]

I’m doing a 50” long lower half quarter panel replacement on a Chevy Cavalier using panel bond and a contoured backer strip cut out of a junk yard piece. I’ll glue the backer strip in first like you did, but use Pre-drilled holes and wood screws to clamp it, instead of clamps. Then remove the screws and dab the holes from behind to make a waterproof bond. This method causes zero distortion and no pinholes like welding does. Great to see someone else use this method. I know skeptics will say that you can’t help but get ghost outlines and color bleeding from any type of bonding glue. What does the patch look like over a year later?

You can get a cheap flux-core welder at Harbor Freight for around $150, yes you’ll need other stuff like a welding helmet and some gloves but get a welder and learn how to stick metal together, it’s a capability you’ll find very valuable. 😎

[@mrbriggs68]

Key word you said cheap meaning junk

[@frankthespank]

@@mrbriggs68 Not really…. welders are incredibly siqmple machines now, you don’t have to spend hundreds of dollars on a welder anymore to get one that can lay down a decent weld. At Harbor Freight the old black AC welder that goes for around $150 (depending on what coupon you dig up) still kinda sucks. But, they sell a better one, it’s neon green color and goes for around $20 (again, depending on wat coupon you can find. *All of Harbor Freight’s prices have increased in the last few months, thanks to our current administration… 🙄

[@johngate4715]

there is always going to be snobs who get mad when people don't weld in panels. It is like they get disgusted when they see people doing any other type of repair that does not involve welding. Not every fucking car rust/panel repair needs to be welded in. After you do all the needed prep work, rust removal, glue a panel on, and fiberglass, bondo, and paint over it, it aint coming off, its not going to just fall off after driving down the road lol, I dont know where people get that Idea from. If you let it get that rusted out again to the point where it needs to be repaired again, then that is on you, NOT THE REPAIR!

Always thought someone would manufacture some truck cab corners and rocker panel covers that could be painted with a spray can and then glued on. It would cover the ugly rust and holes, wouldn’t fit flush but would look good enough for a daily driver truck, and not break the bank!

Does this work on top of paint? There's a 5" round hole on the floor of my van I'm trying to figure out how to fix it because the floor is corrugated. :( This hole was cut out of sheer laziness by a shop person installing a diesel heater in my van. It's going to be hard to go to bare metal because of the corrugation. I was just thinking of using panel adhesive for a piece on top of the hole, since it's hidden so it doesn't have to look perfect.

[@mallorymcguire833]

And there will still be gaps under the piece :( I'm so mad they did this.
